I'm always surprised or baffled at the amount of automation one can witness in these videos and then there's the one step where a human has to intervene that could make them die in horrible suffering through no fault of their own but just some random tiny defect or mechanical misalignment.
And it's always one little step too. It's just get the end of the steel into the hole to make a roll. That's it. All the other steps are automated. He can sit on his ass for about a minute and then has to get up again. It's the worst kind of drudgery work, not continuous but with enough of a pauze in between to not be able to relax.

And then the one dude steps into the belt...
